12:02 pm
>> dave: a new report showing the average driver stuck in traffic is wasting a whopping $1880 a year. how do they want to fix it? with billions more with infrastructure spending wosmt it work or only be a waste of time. welcome to forbes on fox. let's go with steve forbes and our panel. we got a full house today. steve, you say slam the brakes on this plan, why? >> because government involved is going to be a waste. you look at other infrastructure fed ex and ups and railroads got out the way, great infrastructhe private equity involved, public-partnerships private partnerships and you get more for less. you get bloated wages and more bang for the buck by bringing in free market. >> dave: what is wrong with the free market taking the place of
12:03 pm
government boondoggles? >> for one thing it is not happening quickly enough. we have a serious problem that all of us should agree to. there are certain things like roadways that you cannot give a monopoly to a private company. >> dave: it's a public monopoly? >> don't you feel better with all of us own the government having control over the roadway than one private company. >> dave: i've seen so many of those public projects with guys sitting around. they take five times as long as private project. rick has a point on infrastructure. it is crumbling. listen to what ray lahood pitched this infrastructure plan. >> i don't think you would be turning off people in america because they know america is one big pothole right now. >> dave: there are a lot of potholes? >> i agree. what happened with the last
12:04 pm
infrastructure spending in the surplus spend. guess how much highways got? a big, fat zero. in new jersey it was sent on highway ramps to nowhere. >> dave: there are road to nowheres in new hampshire. >> that one ended up in a concrete wall. the scan village, population less than 200, they got a $15 million airport. why not newark or las vegas. it's a big pork barrel project where the states spend the money and they get to a monopoly on this money. >> dave: i am thinking of the big dig in boston and terribly corrupt. scheduled for $2 billion and ended up costing $15 billion. new york has a second avenue
12:05 pm
subway system they have been building for 40 years. do we need more of this? >> we don't necessarily need more of this. going a back to steve's point, public private partnership, it takes a certain amount of money and spending from the government actually i think we need to be spending money on infrastructure maybe more smart than the examples. if you look at infrastructure spending when it is done correctly it gives you a bang for a buck. it can create economic and job growth. countless studies a recent one from the san francisco federal reserve that show this. down the road you see less air pollution and less health care. >> dave: so many times you see delays on projects and corruption where local contractors try to get as much as they can out of the government. is that ever going to change? >> no, it's not going to change. when rick unger says we have an
12:06 pm
emergency, i worry about my taxes going up. if we want better roads and less traffic it is easy. bid it on these road building to private motivated entities. you will see innovation and prices for the times that you drive those roads. it's through market forces, don't hand it to the government. >> dave: rich, we had an ice rink in central park. it's a beautiful place. the city government was working on it for years and cost overruns and finally donald trump stepped in and said, hey, look, give it to me i'll do it in six months at half the cost. he did it even faster than that. doesn't steve have a point that private sector should be linda in author these things? >> steve makes a great point. i understand rick's impulse here. if you go back to the 1930s, a
12:07 pm
lot of public works projects were accomplished and did pretty well. you have things like the golden gate bridge four years. now it takes seven years to build an access road to the golden gate bridge. we have extraordinary stopping power from environmental groups, public work unions have slowed down everything. it just doesn't work like liberals want it to work anymore. we have to do a private mechanism. >> dave: let me throw a bone in rick's direction. we have an incredible highway system in the united states. that was done in the 1950s. can't we replicate that when it comes to bridges? >> if we couldn't do it under president obama in 2009 when they were spending hundreds of billions of dollars, the answer is no. the regulatory morass is insurmountable and politics play a role. we waste hundreds of billions of
12:08 pm
dollars on mass transit. it has a role in certain parts of the country but tens of billions that could have been used for real infrastructure. >> dave: so there may have been a time when massive projects, there is too many regs to make it efficient. >> i don't see the private market stepping up to do the job. wait a minute, this country is turning into a third world nation. our infrastructure is truly crumbling. >> they are using private contractors and there are questions at that level. we have an oil and gas boom. our infrastructure at that level is poor. there is a bottleneck at the refineries. we're going to need more than pipelines to make that part of the economy. >> dave: rick has a point when he goes after monopolies but the worst is the government. all the private sector competition and that leads to corruption, no? >> i think you can point to
12:09 pm
that, but you can point to positive examples where infrastructure spending has done good. salt lake city is a good example. and also one of the strongest job rate growths. the transportation has a direct link to that. >> utah is low tax republican state. come on. >> it is. >> new york and san francisco and chicago with the corruption and the public employee unions, forget it. >> dave: how many of these light rail programs to fuel efficiency very few, right? >> i come from southern california and they are never used at all. when we talk about infrastructure, yes, we have an impressive national highway system, but the unseen is how much more cheaply it would be built today if we left this to private profit motivated

12:16 pm
court. that will be interesting. i agree with rich in the private sector, you work overtime and you do extra work in the hope that in the future, you are going to be rewarded whereas unions are focused on doing less and getting paid more. i find that contrast very evident. >> dave: you have a lot of family members in public service firemen, but you are not sympathetic on this one? >> for a legal matter, written contract and written policy says if i want overtime you have to ask for it. case closed. though should ask for it basically right on the job. so the fact that they are suing to get it is confusing. these are the guys -- listen i have a lot of friends in law enforcement. maybe the guys should pay back for all the donut breaks they take. we know there is a lot of abuse in the system where basically file for disability right before retirement to double barrel the

governments hurt the housing market. we have dozen countries that have higher ownership than we do. >> dave: when the government tries to fix the mortgages it fails 40% of those mortgages that have been reconstructed are now in foreclosure again? >> you are probably right. i think john is too hard on some of these government insurances. don't end them. let's put a $50,000 cap on things like mortgage insurance. let's put a cap on deposit insurance. $50,000 cap on crop insurance. >> i'm for a simpler approach. steve makes it simple, take it out of the hands of the government. it s it too late to do that? >> this was doomed to fail for a long time because fha loans typically require a lower down payment than non-fha loans, so

the lenders are giving loans to people that are going to default and be repaid by taxpayers. this is scheme by federal government to redistribute wealth from higher earning people that pay higher taxes to lower income people. that is all the is. >> dave: one of problems is we have so many federal agencies involved. we nationalize fannie and freddie. as i mentioned all these programs that the treasury department started. how do you untangle the bureaucracy? >> you let them expire and privatize fannie and freddie and hfa and -- fha. politicians will raise it that is what you see with deposit insurance. you have to get them out, period. >> dave: if that happens, will there be people whose loans are in the process of modification who are kind of stuck in the middle, who fall in the middle?
12:27 pm
>> i think this whole process, it would have to take years and years to happen. what worries me probably the most as far as fha is concerned, what it does to first time home buyers that has been a huge part of this market. so i do think we should look like 3 1/2% down payment but there is place. >> dave: you get the last word. already, we told you cold, hard cash you are wasting in traffic jams. now stocks to get you in the fast lane. you will want to hear about this coming right up.

>> the constitution says that congress can establish a postal service it doesn't have to say it owns and running it. they are losing billions of dollars year after year. that is because it is run for political purposes and not economic purposes. if you privatize the post office you would see hundred billion dollars come in to the government. you would see better outcome not much different than when airfares were deregulated. in france and germany and denmark they do it that way worldwide. >> eric: does anything work better when the government gets their hand on it? >> not that i of. to jonathan's point, we have privatized certain things the there was no fed ex and no private mail services. in fact, it shows that the
